Lockdown: Dynamic Control-Flow Integrity

Applications written in low-level languages without type or memory safety are especially prone to memory corruption. Attackers gain code execution capabilities through such applications despite all currently deployed defenses by exploiting memory corruption vulnerabilities. Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) is a promising defense mechanism that restricts open control-flow transfers to a static set o...

This has been due to the prevalence of simplistic tools that have poor enforcement but, yet are easy to manage. While advanced commercial solutions do exist that have stronger enforcement, they are significantly harder to...

Dissemination of Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke Across a Nation

Background and Purpose—We used Riks-Stroke, the Swedish Stroke Register, to explore how thrombolysis has been disseminated in Swedish hospitals since it was approved in 2003. Methods—All 78 hospitals in Sweden admitting patients with acute stroke participate in Riks-Stroke. Between 2003 and 2008, 72 033 adult patients were hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke. We analyzed thrombolysis use by ...

The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN) .

The objective of this study is to examine if (1) role reward (within each role and across roles) contributes directly to mental health and buffers the negative impact of role stress and (2) as...
